The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense strategic scramble to prepare before the clock runs out, then a methodical management of resources to endure the aftermath.

What players say

Players split on this one. Fans enjoy the hoarding, farming, and base-building loop, calling it addictive, while detractors sour on repetitive late-game days where zombies stop threatening you. Many report progress-blocking bugs, especially in later characters, and several note the cold snap event needs outside knowledge to survive. One long-time player says the story is weak.
